Man-hating Amazons and Bastard Children Make This Week’s Comics Fun For All The Family

This is hardly a banner week for comic stores, and no, that’s not a pun to tie in with the upcoming Incredible Hulk movie. While there may be lots of new books coming out, it’s fairly light on ones that’ll grab your attention unless you’re looking to read up on this summer’s big movie heroes…

Unlikely Spokesperson Contest Results: Gadget Ads You’ll Only See in Hell

Oh my. I knew that I was asking for trouble when I called in Photoshops of inappropriate spokespeople for gadgets, but I didn’t realize just how much trouble I was going to get. I got a huge response for this one, including some of the most sick (and hilarious) entries to a Photoshop contest yet.…

Crappy Movies Are Destroying Your Brain, Say Scientists

You already knew that watching movies like Jumper or the Planet of the Apes remake makes your brain hurt, but now neuroscientists have proof. When you watch a great movie, your brain marches in lockstep with the brains of the other viewers. Terrible movies invoke synaptic chaos. Could filmmakers use this knowledge to create movies…

Alien Reality Show Brings Violence, Giant Robots

Somewhere in the halls of NBC, an ad executive is looking at the high concept of Rick Remender and Eric Nguyen’s new comic Gigantic and weeping openly.

HoloVizio True 3D Display Uses Voxels, No Goggles

HoloVizio may look like yet another 3D screen, but it completely changes the approach to three-dimensional displays using voxels instead of pixels. Each voxel can project multiple light beams—of different intensity and colors—in several directions, simultaneously. This means that anyone standing around the monitor will actually see an object from a different perspective, with no…

PLoP! Collapsible, Recyclable Bookshelves Perfect For Students, Greens

In between beers, my student days were spent shuttling between at least 10 different homes, and my poor battered library would definitely have benefited from PLoP! This concept from designer Joyce Hong is simply a rigid cardboard bookshelf that collapses up when you need to move it around. It weighs just 4 pounds, and can…

“Comic Books Unbound” Leaps Over History In Single Bound

Okay, so the new TV docu-history Comic Books Unbound may not tell you anything you didn’t know already. But don’t let that scare you away from the Movie Channel’s potted history of the medium and how it’s changed the face of modern movies. There are even testimonies from Paul Pope and (weirdly enough) Selma Blair.…

McCain Says He’ll Choose Vice-President Via Google

Hi, John McCain here. You might know me, I’m the Republican candidate for this year’s presidential race. However, I’m not yet in possession of a Number Two to ride that ticket alongside me. Earlier this week, I told people at a luncheon party in Virginia that I was using the power of the Google in…

Watch The Hulk Talk And Hancock Drink — A Lot

A random thought: Many narratives are spoiler-proof. You pretty much know the main story beats of any superhero movie before you watch it. All that happens when you read spoilers is that you consume extra bits of the narrative out of sequence (which may make the story actually feel more intriguing, and add an extra…

One Wash, One Cup of Water: Nearly Waterless Washing Machine Invented

British inventors have designed a washing machine that takes eco-friendliness to a new level: it uses just a single cup of water to wash a load of clothes. Instead of water the Xeros machine uses thousands of special plastic chips (about 44 pounds’ worth) in each wash, and when that single cup of water is…

Gym bunnies amongst you might be interested in the Murphy Gym, a shallow cupboard full of the kind of equipment you need to look like a condom stuffed with walnuts—marbled walnuts if you are either a hunk of Kobe beef, or if you like popping S.T.E.Roids as if they were M&Ms. I’m also guessing that…
